Halal food for COVID-19 sufferers in Bangkok – Thai PBS World Tonight [15th June 2021]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many groups and organizations volunteered to provide food and beverages to people suffering from economic problems and those in quarantine at home.

The Office of Islamic Affairs Committee for the Bangkok Metropolis is one such organization that provides food, Halal food to be specific, to people in every district in Bangkok.

They prepare 200 Halal meals each day and each district office of Bangkok will pick them up and deliver them to people in need. Halal food was delivered to people in Suan Luang, Bang Phlat and Bang Sue districts, including communities in Khlong Toei.

Khlong Toei is a large district in Bangkok which contains around 40 communities. It is the site of one of the clusters of COVID-19 infections during this third wave. People who live in the area have to stay at home and many Muslims, who live in Khlong Toei, have been short of Halal food.
